N-Fab Bumpers & Bed Mounted Tire Cage Installed (Pic Heavy)

[Jesse@MBRP]

Still plugging away at my 2018 LFG build and went with these N-Fab bumpers front and rear with a Rigid 40" Radiance in the front (for now). Installed both bumpers alone with simple hand tools most have access to. I wired the light on the factory AUX switches with a relay.
















I also installed their tire carrier bed cage. Simple two minute bolt on via the factory Torx Bolts.

The bumpers and bedrack look great! I'm happy you posted this, I have a 2018 LF on the way and just ordered this front bumper. How is the fit and finish?

How does the front bumper work with the intercooler? Any trimming of the shroud or relocating the adaptive cruise control box?

LOL I have this exact setup in my garage awaiting my order. Looks fantastic!

You relocate the Adapt Cruise and trim shroud. Very simple though.

Both fit awesome. No complaints.

Still use the stock intercooler with that bumper? Seems it's airflow is totally blocked...

Looks great. Mine is lead foot also.

Very easy to do front bumper guys. Don't be scared to get a bit dirty. A good knife cuts right through it like butter. Very simple and I think all bumpers require it to be cut off.

Only bumpers with winch require intercooler relocation i believe. I shopped around and that was the case. I ended up with Fab fours Aero and ADD rear because for some reason the Fab Fours rear does not fit 2018 models according to them. Not sure why? And did not want to risk it an have to send back.

Still factory intercooler. No issues to date. There are several very small areas from which air can still pass along the light bar that are cleverly hidden.

It's only in the 80's this time of year but I don't anticipate any problems moving forward.

Why replace the bumper that uses the oem skid plate? For looks?

I thought the point was to get a stronger skid plate, improve clearance, and improve your approach angle.

Real men don't need skid plates because they jump over everything.
